George Santos faces House ethics committee probe

[BidenPresident]

House speaker Kevin McCarthy confirmed that the chamber’s ethics committee is investigating Republican representative George Santos.

“Ethics is moving through, and if ethics finds something, we’ll take action,” McCarthy told reporters. “Right now we’re not allowing him to be on committees from the standpoint of the questions that have arisen.”

I still can't believe this charlatan is in Congress. Of course, I've said the same thing about MGT and Lauren Boobert. The Republican Party is a freaking clown show.

Let's see what the ethics committee decides. Expulsion? Make him apologize?

The Party of Trump loves liars and pedos. George will get a wrist slap and a lot of money for reelection.

I love how Santos keeps repeating the voters elected him. No they didn't vote for you, they voted for what they thought what you sold them about yourself was true

Good point. Once you are stripped of committee assignments you're pretty much out of play.

And McCarthy admitted Santos was taken off committee's and not by Santos choice as Santos claimed

Looks like McCarthy wants Santos out.

Exactly, great point.

Yup. Santos can't sit on committees, but the Geico cavewoman can?

He's done. The only question is whether or not the criminal convictions are enough for McCarthy to expel him.

He managed to win in a Blue district by concocting a fantasy candidate. Everyone in the district is calling for him to step down. No amount of money will get him elected in 2 years. He's already stated that he won't run, but does anyone believe anything that he says?

Doesn't that sound familiar?

In this tight Congress, his 'yes' vote is valuable.

Otherwise, he's just a distraction.

Yea. He had to, as he was about to dump Democrats from committee positions.

I don't know the rules such as whether Kevin can "expel" Santos. Sure, kick him off committees but I doubt Kevin has the power to expel Santos from Congress.

Santos is a pathological liar...and it's no surprise he's a rep for the State of New York. LOL

I believe the Speaker can remove Santos from office which McCarthy said he would do if the ethics committee finds he broke the law.

I believe it would be up to McCarthy to bring a vote to the floor to oust him.

LOL. Says the Texan who voted for Cruz. Or are you a Beto guy?

Santos' district overwhelmingly demands his ouster now. It was the loon Zeldin running for governor that brought out the fools who voted for Santos. That district will stay blue forever once Santos is tarred and feathered.
